3. Biotic components are the living things that
shape an ecosystem. Ex : plants animals and
human beings. Each biotic factor needs energy
to do work and food for proper growth.
Biotic components are those that can produce,
consume or decompose food depending on their
nature and role in natural process.
4. Producers: Plants are primary producers of food.
Consumers: Organisms which depend for food on

6. In ecology and biology, abiotic components (also
called abiotic factors) are non -
living chemical and physical factors in
the environment, which affect ecosystems.
EX: sunlight, soil, air, etc.
8. Abiotic and biotic factors are present in every
ecosystem and community. They work together to
provide a working environment that is best for all
living things. Abiotic factors are very diverse, but
each one plays its own role in ecosystem
maintenance.
